A Simple Plan

I wasn't really a big fan of this movie because it was too modern. Most of the movies that we've watched have been classics/or have been made before we were all born and I appreciated that a lot. What I do like about this movie is that it was two everyday people and that this situation could have happened to any of us. I also really enjoyed one of the last scenes when he shoots up the whole place. I thought it was one of the greatest scenes we have ever scene and it also has such realism to it that it almost seems absurd. When I first saw Hank kill Lou's wife I laughed hysterically at how ridiculous the scene was (and lets face it, the actual shot was pretty funny), but I later came to a realization that this would probably be the course of action I would have taken as well. This sense of realism is present all throughout the movie, starting from when Hank's wife is nervous that someone will find out that he has the money and decides to put half of it back, until when Hank's wife tells him to call in sick or tells him to tell the inspectors that he has to watch the baby and Hank realistically says it sounds like a bullshit excuse to get out of going(this may be a weak example). This is the third movie that I have missed the ending for, but luckily the ending is on youtube and i got a chance to watch it and I really enjoyed it, much more than I enjoyed the rest of the film.
